Welcome to my website!  This will be my 12th year at Jackson Elementary and my tenth time teaching first grade.  This year I am very excited to be working with Ms. Soverns-Reed.  We will be taking our students on a "Rockin' year down the Highway to Spell"!  As far as my schooling is concerned, I graduated from the University of Washington in 1990 with a B.A. in History and received my teaching certificate in 2012 from Western Washington University.  I am looking forward to working with my new students this 2024-2025 school year!
